OCALA - An Ocala man who ran from police Monday because his license had been suspended was later found and arrested.

Ocala Police Department Officer Philip Hazel saw a motorcyclist drifting in and out of traffic and pulled the driver over at Southwest Third Street. While he was talking with the driver, a female passenger began to interfere. As another officer arrived, the driver ran away. Hazel gave chase, but lost the man - later identified as Darrell Summers, 31.

A man in the area told the officers he saw a man run into a wooded area. Hazel and a K-9 officer began to search the area and found Summers hiding on top of a vacant two-story home in the 500 block of Southwest Fort King Street.

Summers was arrested and charged with not having a motorcycle endorsement, driving while license is suspended or revoked and resisting without violence.

The passenger, Tasha Kingcade, 33, of Ocala, was charged with resisting arrest without violence.

Records show Summers’ license was suspended in April 2008 for failure to pay a court obligation.
